New Delhi: A WhatsApp group comprising members of a particular community created on February 25 during the Delhi riots was allegedly used to mobilise and commit maximum violence. The members of the group led to the killing of nine people and dumping their bodies in the drains, a recent charge sheet filed by the Delhi police claims.

It was on the intervening night of February 25th-26th, when a group of rioters randomly attacked passer-byes after checking their identity at Nala Road, Johripur Puliya on the stretch of Bhagwati Vihar and Ganga Vihar, Delhi.

Nine accused people have been charge-sheeted in three separate killings during the north-east riots in Delhi. Hamza, Bhure Ali and Amin were found in the drain in Bhagwati Vihar of north-east Delhi.

The rioters kept on stopping random men and killed them with sticks and rods after asking for their identity. Nine bodies were found in the days to follow.

Delhi police charge sheet claims that they have identified and arrested those behind the killings. All men were part of a WhatsApp group, created to take revenge from the members of other community for burning their property.

Crime branch SIT probing the riots have arrested Nine members of a WhatsApp group createdto take revenge during the riots. They have been challenged for the killing of Hamza, Bhure Ali and Amin.

Two of the initial arrests led to the identification of other members after their mobile handsets were scanned. According to the Delhi police charge sheet, the accused were members of Kattar Hindut Ekta.

One of the members of the group, who identified himself as Lokesh Solanki from Ganga Vihar spilt the beans. On February 26, at 11:39 PM, he started instigating others with a text

Bhai Mai Ganga Vihar se Lokesh Solanki hu agr kisi ko koi problem ho or wha log Kam pde to bta dena Mai apni Puri Ganga Vihar ki team k sath aayunga Sara Saman hai humare pass goli bandook sab kuch," says the crime branch charge-sheet.

In the later texts, he accepted killing two men and dumping their bodies at the Nala. The same description matched with the victims in the case.

The Weird and Wild Anatomy of the Netflix Original Sitcom – Paste Magazine

For the most part, the original sitcoms Netflix has been churning out in the years since Fuller House made its splashy streaming debut will feel familiar to anyone whos turned on a television even once since I Love Lucy took its final bow.

Half-hour multicam format? Check. Bright, flat lighting? Check. Live studio audience (and/or laugh track)? Check (and/or check). Throw in some nostalgic stunt-casting here (hello, TV teens of the 90s!), a genuine Sitcom Hall of Famer there (thats Mr. Norman Lear to you), and enough corny jokes to give Mitchells famous cereal grain palace a run for its money, and youve got all the ingredients necessary for traditional sitcom greatness.

And yet, while its absolutely true that many Netflix sitcoms are greata few, even, rising to the level of excellentwhat almost none of them are, as a rule, is traditional. And how could they be? Just as the streamers rules-be-damned, flood-the-market production model has disrupted well-worn trends across the board (fully upending, in the process, how people even talk about TV), so too has it redefined not just what a modern multicam sitcom can do, but how it can go about doing it.

In the earliest days of the Netflix sitcom (e.g., like, 2016), this rule-breaking wasnt always easy to parse. On the one hand, you had things like Fuller House and One Day at a Time, whose comedic premises (intergenerational hijinks, with heart) were straightforward, and whose sitcom pedigrees (95% of the original Full House cast; Norman Lear) were pure gold. So their episodes ran a little long, and their character arcs pushed a few boundariesno problem, the classic sitcom vibe was still there. On the other hand, though, you had things like Disjointed (the Kathy Bates cannabis comedy) and The Ranch (depressed conservative cowboys who say fuck like its a punchline). Sure, thanks to the likes of Chuck Lorre and Ashton Kutcher, both came backed by similarly legit sitcom pedigrees, but as early reviews (and the quick cancellation of Disjointed) bore out, youd have to have been high to think either one vibed as anything close to a classic sitcom.

At the time, these four titles (plus a charmless Richie Rich) sitting side-by-side in the Goofy TV Comedies queue made it seem like Netflix didnt quite know what it wanted its chapter in the history of the sitcom to cover. Was it hoping to elevate a genre that time (and modern television-watching sensibilities) had burnished to dullif efficientperfection? Or was it trying to turn the traditional multicam into something altogether weirder, forging paths through comedic and narrative territory way beyond the well-lit paths network television has long been bound to?

The answer, it seems, is yes. Yes, with things like Fuller House and One Day at a Timeand, more recently, Mr. Iglesias, Family Reunion, and The Expanding Universe of Ashley GarciaNetflix absolutely aims to take a formula generations of sitcom watchers know and love, and kick it up to 11. But also yes, with things like The Ranch, Alexa & Katie, and (to Pastes eternally shocked delight) No Good Nick, the streamer just as absolutely aims to turn that formula way weird. Because heres the thing: Freed from the limitations imposed on the traditional multicam by generations of both FCC regulation and audience expectation, the Netflix sitcomno matter where on the spectrum of classic to WTF it starts outhas proven itself to have the gift of almost endless flexibility.

Clockwise from top left: Fuller House (2016-2020), Family Reunion (2019-), No Good Nick (2019), Alexa & Katie (2017-2020), The Ranch (2016-2020), One Day at a Time (2017-2019*), Mr. Iglesias (2019-), The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia (2020-)

What does all that flexibility look like in practice? Well, after many long hours of very corny research, weve crunched the data, and have come up with the following list of things that make up the weird and ever-wilder anatomy of the Netflix original sitcom. Whether youre a sitcom agnostic whos never given Netflixs stabs at the genre a single thought, or a sitcom fan whos been put off by the way they seem to reflect the traditional sitcom model through a funhouse mirror, may this guide give you reason to give at least one of these cornball series a real shot.

While its true that a nostalgia-driven reboot trend has also hit the linear sitcom landscape hard in the half-decade since Girl Meets World premieredand its just as true that multicams across broadcast and cable television had been littered with sitcom pros long before thatthe Netflix sitcom, as a rule, goes all in on nostalgia. Fuller House and One Day at a Time are the most obvious examples of this, but theres been at least one Big Nostalgia play in every sitcom Netflix has released since.

Usually, this play is aimed squarely at older Millennials, various stars of the 80s and 90s showing up both as parents of various teen characterssee: Sean Astin and Melissa Joan Hart on No Good Nick, Allison Munn and The Big Show on The Big Show Show, Tiffany Amber Thiessen on Alexa & Katie, Rev Run on All About the Washingtons, and Tia Mowry-Hardrict on Family Reunionas well as other (less parental) adultsGabriel Iglesias, Sherri Shepherd and Oscar Nuez as public school employees on Mr. Iglesias, Ashley Tisdale and Bridgit Mendler as Dennis Quaids unhappy daughters on Merry Happy Whatever, Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson as downer brothers on The Ranch, Jaleel White everywhere, and Mario Lopez and Chelsea Kane as family friends on The Expanding Universe of Ashley Garcia. As often as it angles for Millennial attention, though, the Netflix sitcom also uses nostalgia to take aim at the Gen Z crowd, pulling in teen actors from fan-favorite Nickelodeon and Disney sitcoms to play the kids of all those 80s/90s stars abovehere, think Theodore Barnes on Prince of Peoria, Landry Bender and Isaak Presley on Fuller House, Cree Cicchino, Tucker Albrizzi and Coy Stewart on Mr. Iglesias, Paris Berelc, Emery Kelly, Nathaniel Potvin and Jack Griffo on Alexa & Katie, and Siena Agudong, Lauren Lindsey Donzis, Kalama Epstein and Kyla-Drew on No Good Nick.

On the one hand, while casting all those heavy-hitter adults makes cynically good sense, drawing so many names from the Nickelodeon/Disney pool feels a bit like cheating, Netflix cashing in on the casting talent both Disney and Nickelodeon have worked for decades to hone, rather than taking the opportunity to find all new funny, charming teens to call their own. On the other hand, making a cynical grab for known factors across the generations is just good business, because the next thing that defines the Netflix sitcom is

Back in the land of linear programming, every network that traffics in multicam sitcoms has a clearly defined lane: On the broadcast end of things, NBC specializes in the workplace comedy, CBS goes for put-upon parents/maladjusted singles, ABC does families, and FOX does animation. Cable, meanwhile, has Freeform in the messy twentysomethings lane, TBS (and, lately, Pop TV) in the weirdo adult one, and Nickelodeon and Disney cover all things aimed at precocious kids and/or goofy teens.

Netflix sitcoms have no lanes. Yes, The Ranch (f-bombs) and Disjointed (pot jokes) mostly skew adult, while Prince of Peoria (outdated boy humor) and Team Kaylie (the less funny cousin to Bunkd) mostly skew pre-teen. From Alexa & Katie to Mr. Iglesias, though, just about every other title in Netflixs small-but-growing sitcom arsenal is set-up to appeal to adult and kid/teen audiences in more or less equal measure. On something like No Good Nick, this means the audience is invited to emotionally invest both in Disney-esque high school melodramas, and in Liz (Hart) and Eds (Astin) broadcast-level marital/professional problems. (And, to a slightly lesser extent, Nicks dads more darkly-shaded criminal ones.) Family Reunion, meanwhile, gives as much time to the four McKellan kidswho themselves span at least three different Disney demographic groupsas it does to their parents (Mowry-Hardrict and Anthony Alabi) and grandparents (Loretta Devine and Richard Roundtree), while One Day at a Time not only covers the network-spanning sprawl of the Alvarez familys narrative needs, but also brings in Schneider (Todd Grinnell), whose solo arc occasionally gets so prickly even TBS might hesitate to embrace it. (In that respect, especially, the fact that ODAAT ended up on Pop TV after being prematurely canceled by Netflix makes perfect sense.)

For audiences used to being able to turn on a network sitcom and know, based on context, more or less what to expect, this kind of demographic mash-up can feel disorientingnot for nothing did we deem No Good Nick the most confounding sitcom wed ever seen! But taken in the everything, for everyone, all the time context Netflix has spent the last few years building, these sitcoms crafting stories that cater to such a broad, ambiguous audience isnt confounding; its completely natural.

In that same spirit, while many broadcast sitcoms have become notably more diverse in recent yearsin terms of race, at least, if not always in other waysthe Netflix sitcom got to start with diversity as a guiding light. True, the streamers first three traditional sitcoms (Richie Rich in 2015, followed by Fuller House and The Ranch in 2016) were extremely (if not entirely) white. The majority of the series that followed, howeverstarting with One Day at a Time in 2017, then continuing with Alexa & Katie, Prince of Peoria and All About the Washingtons in 2018, No Good Nick, Mr. Iglesias, Family Reunion, and Team Kaylie in 2019, and now The Expanding Life of Ashley Garcia in 2020have either featured, or have entirely centered, non-white characters and experiences, whose stories were created, written, or directed by similarly diverse teams.

Corny as the broadcast-based multicam sitcom can be, this kind of representation is still important, and always worth fighting to improve. On Netflix, howeverwhere neither the FCC nor politically squeamish commercial interests hold sway, and where all the ambiguous storytelling outlined above has rendered any expectations the audience might have mootit has moved from important to productive. With something like Mr. Iglesias, this has meant getting to show the ways in which the American public education system treats black, brown and poor white students like theyre wholly expendable, without layering it in so many corny jokes the point gets lost. On One Day at a Time, meanwhile, it means Elenas (Isabella Gomez) coming out arc not just being about her sexuality, but about her identity as a Puerto Rican woman, while on Family Reunion, it means getting to show Jade (Talia Jackson) confronting colorism and anti-interracial dating in her own community, and Cocoa and Moz (Mowry-Hardrict and Alabi) sitting Shaka (Isaiah Russell-Bailey) and Mazzi (Cameron J. Wright) down for The Talk, after two smugly racist white officers pull guns on the boys in front of their own home. Shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Living Single got to be frank about similar issues in their own time, but thats been more the exception than the rule. On Netflix, it is starting out as the rule.

The freedom Netflix sitcoms have to take on diverse stories extends beyond race. Most gratingly, of course, theres Kutchers deeply unpleasant conservative comedy, The Ranch, which uses its Netflix bonafides to layer stories about domestic abuse, substance abuse, abortion, miscarriage and suicide on top of the jokes about bull castration and economic depression it promises from the start. Ill own the fact that Ive got a chip on my shoulder when it comes to The Ranch (look, as a High Plains native, I resent the disdain they show for the kinds of folks I grew up with, who might be conservative but arent universally mean boors, while as a fan of comedic fluency, I resent that so many sitcom pros seem to have forgotten how to land a joke), but the fact that those topics are made the meat of a multicam sitcom at all is notable. Similarly notable, Alexa & Katie centering a teen (Paris Berelc) with cancer who starts the series actively undergoing chemo, and not shying away from the possibly mortal consequences of her diagnosis. See also: Jeremy (Kalama Epstein) having his first kiss with another boy and later coming out to his family on No Good Nick, Gabe (Iglesias) struggling with sobriety on Mr. Iglesias, and both Penny wrestling with her anxiety and Elena first coming out to her family, then starting a relationship with her non-binary partner Syd (Sheridan Pierce), on One Day at a Time.

Its all so much! Which is why its so luck that the last thing that defines a Netflix sitcom is

In not being weighed down by multiple long ad breaks, the Netflix sitcom enjoys meaningfully longer episodes than its commercial-laden cousins on broadcast and cable TVthe pilot of Family Reunion, for example, runs a full 34 minutes long, while the pilot of Marlon Wayans Marlon, which streams alongside Family Reunion but originates from NBC, tops out at a tight 20:04. The pilot of Fuller House, if you want an even sharper comparison, runs all the way to 36 minutes. The pilot of Full House, the Netflix reboots beloved predecessor? A trim 25.

For a genre as long-lived (read: finely tuned) as the multicam sitcom, these extra minutes can occasionally result in a shagginess youd be hard pressed to find in shows developed for the traditional broadcast setting. For the most part, though, they work in the Netflix sitcoms favor, making room for the kinds of big, ambitious stories described in more detail above. (Plus, obviously, more jokes.)

Similarly, the full-season drop signature to the Netflix model incentivizes serialized storytelling, even in something as inherently episodic as the multicam sitcom. No Good Nick, which uses its single season to follow a con artist foster kid through her entire scheme embedding with the family who ruined her dads life, is perhaps the best example of this trend towards serialization, but from Mr. Iglesiass academic decathlon to Fuller Houses surrogacy arc to Merry Happy Whatevers excruciatingly long family Christmas visit, serialization of at least some sort is present throughout, giving the wild and weird beast that is the Netflix original sitcom room to grow into whatever it might want to beaudience expectations be damned.

With so much production shut down for the pandemic, its a given that Netflixs sitcom legacy will slow down for a time, too. But with Kevin James NASCAR sitcom and Jane Lynch and Cyndi Laupers mystery Golden Girls-esque project already greenlit, were just as certain that whenever it comes back, it will be as big and bold as ever.

Original multicam sitcoms (so many of them!) are available streaming now on Netflix. Presuming youve already loved One Day at a Time and binged Fuller House (whether you loved it or not), we suggest giving Family Reunion a shot next. But you do you!

Sandra Oh Revealed She Used to Fight With "Greys Anatomy" Writers and Shonda Rhimes – Yahoo Lifestyle

From Prevention

Sandra Oh detailed why she used to get into arguments with Greys Anatomy writers and Shonda Rhimes.

She said going toe to toe with them was challenging but worth it because she cared about her character, Dr. Cristina Yang.

She also opened up about how the show didnt want to address race, which she occasionally disagreed with.

Sandra Oh played Dr. Cristina Yang on Greys Anatomy for 10 years, so she definitely knows everything there is about her character and what Dr. Yang would realistically do in any situation. But during Varietys Actors on Actors series, Sandra revealed that she actually had to fight for her character and go toe to toe with the writers and even Shonda Rhimes herself.

Talking to Scandal actor Kerry Washington, Sandra said, What I was able to get from Greys is to have the responsibility and the relationship with the writer to be able to direct where shes going. If something kind of came up which was like, That is completely wrong, I would go toe to toe with Shonda and a lot of the writers, which has been challenging.

This approach to her character pushed her to bother Shonda, which would often lead to them digging in our heels hugely. She went on to say, But just the friction itself, a lot of times a third thing would come out, and it would not be in my sight of consciousness at all; it would take that pushing against someone equally as strong. I started to learn how to trust that.

One instance that really stood out in Sandras mind was when her character married Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington). Explaining the ethos of the show, Sandra said, When we did Greys, for at least the first 10 seasons, we would not talk about race. We would not go into race, and that was purposeful. And whatever, it was the right thing to do when it was. When it came to the marriage, though, Sandra wanted to focus on the mothers-in-law, who were Asian and Black. She recalled saying, Come on, there is a lot of story that we can do here! Unfortunately, the writers wouldnt budge.

Story continues

Even though filming 10 seasons with 22 to 24 episodes each was a major challenge, Sandra is incredibly proud of herself (as she should be!) for standing up for her character. She finished, I feel like, when I look back, because its been six years now since I left Greys, I feel like one of my biggest successes, for me, was I dont feel I gave up.

Thor concept art shows Grey’s Anatomy star as the God of Thunder – Digital Spy

The Thor movies are what they are because of Chris Hemsworth's performance, especially in Ragnarok where he got to align his comedic talents with Taika Waititi's 'out-there' sensibilities.

But while it's really hard to imagine anyone else as the God of Thunder now, before Hemsworth was cast, multiple actors were linked to the role to the point where concept art was created using other stars.

One such piece has now been shared by Marvel Studios' Visual Development veteran Charlie Wen, and features Kevin McKidd from Grey's Anatomy and Trainspotting.

"Thought you might enjoy another very early Thor concept done even before preproduction started," he wrote on Twitter. "I was trying out different actors to base #Thor on since @chrishemsworth didn't have the role yet at the time. This was based on @therealkmckidd."

Apart from the different face, the design is pretty standard MCU Thor, which is just how we like it. Big red cape, not too armoured and with the big circles on his chest. Excellent.

Hemsworth will return as Thor in his fourth solo outing, Thor: Love and Thunder, which will see Natalie Portman return as Jane Foster and take on the mantle of the God of Thunder. Waititi is back directing as well.

McKidd is still a part of the Grey's Anatomy family, with his character Owen Hunt also popping up in a recent episode of spin-off series Station 19.

Thor: Love and Thunder has a release date of February 28, 2022.

Sandra Oh Wanted To Leave ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ To Play Olivia Pope On ‘Scandal’ – iHeartRadio

Shonda Rhimes created two of the most iconic shows of all time for ABCGrey's Anatomy and Scandal. Those shows are packed with strong female leads that any actress would have loved to play. It turns out one of Grey's Anatomy's biggest stars almost considered jumping ship to play the lead role on Scandal because the role of Washington D.C. 'fixer' Olivia Pope was just that intriguing.

While chatting for Variety's virtual actors on actors series, Sandra Ohwho starred as Cristina Yang on Grey's Anatomy for 10 seasonstold Scandal star Kerry Washington about the time she tried to convince Rhimes to let her play Olivia Pope. I remember exactly where I was when I read that damn pilot. I was on Greys. We were on stage five. Someone snuck [the script] to me, Oh told Washington. I dont know who it was, but I got my hands on that pilot and I read it, and I was just like, How could I play Olivia Pope?

I remember going to Shonda, and its like, How could I do this? What is this script? Could I do this too?" Oh recalled. As the Killing Eve star recalls, though, Rhimes quickly shot down Oh's idea. She goes, No, youve got to play Cristina Yang! Though Oh was disappointed she couldn't go from one iconic Rhimes character to another, she told Washington she was "so glad it was you who ended up bringing Olivia Pope to life.

Oh also recounted what it felt like to read the Scandal pilot. "Its so wonderful and rare when you get in your hands something that you know is electric," Oh said. Washington agreed with Oh, saying she became protective of her character over the source of Scandal's run. I was so devoted to her," she said.

Why Sandra Oh Wanted to go from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to ‘Scandal’ – Showbiz Cheat Sheet

Greys Anatomyfans are holding out hope that Sandra Oh, who portrayed Dr. Cristina Yang from 2005 to 2014, will reprise her role on the medical drama. Now killing it in her role on BBC Americas psychological thriller Killing Eve,the formerGreysstaris making no promises of returning to the halls of Grey Sloan Memorial.

Oh recently revealed that whileon the hit ABC show, she came across another character from Greys creator Shonda Rhimes that greatly piqued her interest.

Receiving critical acclaim including a Golden Globe for her role as British intelligence investigator Eve Polastri on the BBC America series, Oh is thriving in the thriller genre.

Killing Evewas the right series at the right time for me. I really love the show, I like the style of it, I like the thriller aspect, Oh toldThe Sydney Morning Heraldin April. I also like being able to play a character who is able to express not only a rainbow of emotions, but also a lot of depth.

Assigned to capture psychopathic assassin Villanelle (played by Jodie Comer), Eve breaks out of the boredom of her life through the dangerous cat-and-mouse hunt. Oh feels that Eves place in life resonates with viewers.

I think people can identify with how this woman finds a renewed spark in life. Shes a woman in the middle of life, who is stagnating in some way in her work, where she does a decent job, the Greys alum explained. Shes not really curious, shes not really paying attention and shes not a really vital or dynamic person. But we see the spark of life that emerges from her.

Premiering in April 2018, Killing Eve soon became Must See TV. Oh was attracted to the many aspects of the character, where some facets stood out more than others.

There are other elements of the series that I really love, which are the international locations, the overall style of it, or genre of it, Oh shared. But the fact that you have a middle-aged lady who is very determined but doesnt know exactly what she is doing that really fascinated me.

Always striving to portray characters of depth, Oh was intrigued by Eves multi-layered persona.

RELATED:Sandra Oh Describes Her Last Day on Greys Anatomy

I like Eves vulnerability and I spent a lot of this show being scared. And I thought that was also very interesting, the Golden Globe winner explained. Its not so much that I consciously seek out characters who are determined or confident. Im interested in what takes them to where they want to go. I will give my all to get that character to that place.

In an interview for the Variety series Actors on Actors, Oh recently spoke to actress Kerry Washington on coming across the script for the very first showing of Scandal, where Washington played main character Olivia Pope. With the political drama centered around Olivia, a Washington, D.C. fixer, Oh was tempted to trade in her scrubs from Grey Sloan Memorial for an attorneys suit.

I was on Greys. We were on stage five, Oh recalled to Washington of seeing the initial Scandal script. Someone snuck it to me, I dont know who it was, but I got my hands on that pilot and I read it and I was just like, How could I play Olivia Pope?

Oh found the character so compelling that she asked Greys creator Rhimes if she could pull double duty on both shows. I remember going to Shonda, and its like, How could I do this? What is this script? Could I do this too?' Oh recounted.

Apparently, Rhimes wasnt on board with the idea. She goes, No, youve got to play Cristina Yang! Oh shared. But I also feel like its so wonderful and rare when you get in your hands something that you know is electric, that you can feel.

Despite Rhimes rejecting Ohs request, the Killing Eve star recognized that Washington was meant to play Olivia. Im so glad it was you, Oh told the Scandal star.

In Alexandria, The Anatomy Of A Near-Miss Police Shooting – The Hayride

Youre about to see a video that was taken on Saturday in Alexandria, in front of Rapides Regional Medical Center. Nobody dies in the sequence youre about to see, but as you watch it youll surely envision exactly how that outcome could have resulted.

So here is some context on this, from the Alexandria Police Departments incident report. (Source: Alexandria Daily Town Talk)

An Alexandria police officer was injured Friday eveningwhile attempting to arrest three individuals for remaining on site after being asked to leave at Rapides Regional Medical Center.

According to a news release by the Alexandria Police Department, the officers involvement with the individuals began at approximately 9:28 p.m. Fridaywhen he observed a group of people in a vehicle near the hospital entrance playing loud music and disturbing people who were there for medical treatment.

The officer requested that they turn down the music. The group initially complied, however when the officer left the area they resumed playing loud music. Police say, the officer returned and instructed them to leave the property or face possible arrest.

A short time later the officer sawthe suspects back on hospital property at the entrance to the emergency room. At that time, the officer advised the suspects they were being arrested for remaining after forbidden.

According to the news release, after the first suspect was arrested, a second suspect resisted arrest, striking the officer multiple times and knocking the officer unconscious. At some point during the altercation the suspect, by his own admission, attempted to disarm the officer by taking the officers duty weapon from him.

Bystanders as well as backup police officers intervened. The officer used a Taser on the suspect, and all three suspects were taken into custody. The officer was treated for his injuries and released.

Those arrested include Jonathan Rhodes, 20, of Pineville, who was charged with remaining on premises after being forbidden, second degree battery of a police officer, attempted disarming of a police officer, and resisting by force or violence; Elijah McCall, 21, and Jena Fowler, 19, both of Alexandria, each of whom were charged with remaining on premises after being forbidden.

We arent going to go through all of it, but on Facebook and YouTube there are hundreds, even thousands, of comments suggesting that Jonathan Rhodes is a hero for fighting back against the policeman that he knocked down.

Stuff like this

Hes a hero. And a race-hustling Marxist revolutionary from Los Angeles paid his bail. Said race-hustling Marxist revolutionary went on TV in Alexandria to take credit for it, and to spread the dindunuffin line and called the police report a lie

He and his two idiot friends were sitting in a car in a hospital parking lot late on a Saturday night blaring rap music so loudly that hospital patients complained they couldnt sleep. If thats not a pristing example of a flaming, inconsiderate slimeball then one doesnt exist.

Cop comes over, tells him to turn the music down, he does, then turns it back up. Complaints recur, so cop comes back and tells him and his two idiot friends they have to leave or else they get arrested. He doesnt leave.

So the cop then does his job and arrests them. Theyre getting misdemeanor charges. Its a ticket. Nothing to fight over.

But this guy is so stupid that he escalates whats essentially a misdemeanor trespassing charge into a major felony by resisting arrest. And when the cop grabs his orange Sideshow Bob hair in an effort to get control of him so he can put the cuffs on, he proceeds to deck the cop, then jumps on top of him and beats the hell out of him while unholstering the cops weapon.

In the heat of that moment it would have been completely foreseeable, and not at all unjustifiable, if the cop had grabbed his gun and shot Rhodes dead. That might well have happened if a host of bystanders hadnt jumped in to separate the two.

Of course, the woman holding her camera phone on the scene to record it is yelling at the cops not to arrest the female because she didnt even do nothin, but she doesnt have a clue what shes talking about the female was going to be arrested for the initial charge of remaining after forbidden.

Everybody hates to see these police shooting incidents. But just about every one of them comes out of circumstances like this one. And while the police repeatedly get black eyes over the rare incidents in which somebody is shot by a cop, what were asking is that they take a beating from animals like Jonathan Rhodes who create situations that bring the police in the first place.

This could easily have become a Black Lives Matter moment. Had it become one, Jonathan Rhodes would have become a household name like George Floyd, Alton Sterling or Michael Brown. And if it had, all of the circumstances surrounding why it happened would have been swept aside while the whole country erupted into a fresh round of unrest.

Remember this debacle the next time youre asked to despise the police.

Grey’s Anatomy: Who is the scrub nurse Bohkee? – Metro

Bohkee is the scrub nurse fans have seen on screen since Greys Anatomy began in 2005 (Picture: ABC)

Greys Anatomy fans have been taking the chance to rewatch the medical drama and some have realised how one character has been a silent part of the show the very start.

Bohkee is the loyal scrub nurse who has appeared in many of the OR surgeries weve watched take place in Seattle Grace Hospital (aka Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital).

However, she doesnt get to speak very much. In fact, shes only had a few lines ever since it started in 2005.

But that hasnt stopped her from building a large fan base thanks to her expressive reactions during surgeries.

Bohkee is played by Kathy C An, who is an actual scrub nurse in real-life.

A surgical nurses role is to prepare the operating room beforehand as well as to assist both during routine and difficult surgical procedures.

Some of the cast have even watched her at work during open-heart surgeries in Los Angeles when preparing for their roles on the show.

The character Bohkee has been a help to most of the major surgeons in the hospital,Preston Burke and Richard Webber being prime examples.

During the shooting at Seattle Grace, Bohkee was the nurse who passed Jackson Avery a tool to help save the life of Derek Shepherd during surgery with Cristina Yang.

And we know Bohkee speaks Korean as shown when she tells her husband, Jae, that DeLuca loves Meredith.

Actress Kathy is just as popular off-screen and has been praised by her co-stars.

In 2013 former star Sandra Oh (Yang) tweeted: The nurse in that scene, Bokhee, is a real surgical nurse.

Shes been with us since the beginning. Shes like my 2nd mom, shes the best.

Kathy has been in every season of the medical drama but also appeared in other TV shows such as Six Feet Under in 2011 and in Greys spin-off Private Practice where she assisted the surgery on Erica Warner (AJ Langer).

Early Thor Concept Art Imagines Grey’s Anatomy’s Kevin McKidd In The MCU – Screen Rant

Newly resurfaced Thor concept art is based on Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd, who was in the running before Chris Hemsworth landed the part.

Recently resurfacedThorconcept art imaginesGrey's Anatomyactor Kevin McKidd as the Marvel hero. Since his debut in his 2011 solo film, Thor has become a vital part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though the second film in his standalone series,Thor: The Dark World, was a critical disappointment, he bounced back withThor: Ragnarok. It provided a lighter take on the character and segued into his relationship with the similarly eccentric Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, it's hard to imagine anyone but Chris Hemsworth in the role, as he's navigated Thor's character development with ease. However, Hemsworth wasn't the only actor up for the role.

At one point, McKidd was reportedly in the running for Thor. This was back in 2008, around the time McKidd joinedGrey's Anatomyas Owen Hunt. Though he didn't wind up getting the part of Thor, McKidd did eventually play a god, starring inPercy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief as Poseidononly a couple years later. Another actor who nearly played Thor is Daniel Craig, who wasn't able to because of his role as James Bond. Other actors considered include Channing Tatum, Charlie Hunnam, and even Liam Hemsworth.

Because so many actors were up for the role, it makes sense early concept art varied. Marvel Studios Visual Development co-founderCharlie Wen shared someThorconcept art on Instagram today, which was based on McKidd. The art was previously featured inThe Art of Thor, a Marvel artbook released in 2011. Check it out below:

It makes sense Wen specifies the art was based on McKidd rather than being a carbon copy. It only loosely looks like the actor, especially ten plus years after it was created. However, it does give a good idea of what McKidd might have looked like then with Thor's trademark long locks. Though McKidd didn't end up getting the Thor gig, it's not as though his career has tanked since. He's remained a fixture in the entertainment industry thanks to his ongoingGrey's Anatomyrole. At this point, he's even outlasted several original cast members.

All told, theThorconcept art offers a fascinating reminder of the complicated design process for superhero films. Not only do artists have to create a look for the character, they also have to take into consideration whichever actors are up for the role. Though it's interesting to see the basis for what McKidd might have looked like as Thor, it feels like the right person wound up with the role.
